SEED is a modular classroom designed and built to meet the 20 imperatives of Living Building Challenge. Each SEED Classroom houses all of the systems the classroom needs to be self-sustaining. Materials and systems are left exposed to teach students how the building works. Each classroom comes with a curriculum package, developed in partnership with the International Living Future Institute, that allows the building to become a living laboratory for its students.
